Hello all, I am using Legacy 8 and have not had any significant problems until I decided to keep all my genealogy files and photos on OneDrive. I started getting Error 3163 when backing up my media files (file path too long). After rearranging my folders to eliminate most of my subfolders and still getting this error, I gave up and just stopped backing up the media files. (I had them in One Drive anyway so I wasn’t going to loose them.)
Recently I decided to stop using OneDrive and moved my Legacy file and all genealogy photos to my computer. After moving the files, I relinked all media. Everything was linked and going smoothly until I tried a backup to my computer and included the media. My friend 3163 showed up again. So, I went to Picture Center to check my 3000+ photos. In the Picture Center Name List many of the already attached photos seem to have 2 paths/targets. For example: C:\Users\Elizabeth\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\Data\Branching Out v 2014-media 2014-08-04 8.26.16PM\ Users\Elizabeth\Desktop\Genealogy\1 Jennings Family\Cemetery\Saxon Cemetery\Fred A Barge Jr. grave.jpg. If that’s the path, no wonder Legacy says its too long! Can anyone tell me how to get just 1 path rather than the 2? Here’s another issue: the second path above is referencing a folder that no longer exists. I eliminated it in an effort to reduce the number of subfolders. I believe the path should be C:\Users\Desktop\Genealogy 1\Jennings Family\Cemetery/Fred A Barge Jr. grave.jpg. Do I need to unlink everything and start over? Many Thanks Everyone! I greatly appreciate your suggestions.
